The space is considered to be both a graphic character and a control character in ISO 646. [1] It can be considered as a character with a visible form or, in contexts such as teleprinters, a control character that advances the print head without printing a character. The delete character is strictly a control character, not a graphic character.

Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. These characters are characterized by being designed to be connected horizontally and/or vertically with adjacent characters, which requires proper alignment.
Many characters map to alternate glyphs depending on the context. For example, Arabic and Latin cursive characters substitute different glyphs to connect glyphs together depending on whether the character is the initial character in a word, the final character, a medial character or an isolated character.
